Many people who have no idea about trade, history and geopolitics are ready to jump on the Russia- China Alliance train way too fast. The same people who were calling BRICS the end of Western dominance in everything from economy to defense are now thinking that China will support Russia on 100% or something which is a joke.

They don't understand that no matter what China has VASTLY bigger interest in keeping their economic relationship with the West than it does with deepening the ties with Russia. The Chinese are a mercantile nation and to them trade and sweet USD and Euros are much more precious than the Putin ambitions to create an anti- Western block or something. Of course that China will use Russia to strengthen their positions in the world but it will never ever sacrifice itself for the sake of Putin. Beijing will never ever sacrifice a trillion dollars worth of exports to the Western block for Russia. At the same time China will gladly buy Russian resources on preferential prices they chose. As we saw already even if China is neutral and not joining any sanctions on Russia many of their financial institutions who work in the West are already stopping the financing on projects in Russia etc.

Chess master Putin with a grandmaster move again. :D

Exactly right, i bet the chinese government is hugging themselves right now, if russia is blockaded by the world china can pretty much set their own prices. In one sense they probably support the sanctions even if they would never ever ever admit it.
